Dave I can think of lot better ways of keeping warm, but don’t want to say, incase I upset your delicate nature.

You won’t upset me Norm,and when you met me you will see I am far from delicate.
Cheer Dave.

I’m just an ugly ex lorry driver Norm who has had a few battles through the years and doesn’t get fazed easily.

Who’s going to be the judge Harry ? I can frighten dogs and kids,also Jehovah’s witness and all cold callers with a withering look.
Cheers Dave.

the Grandchildren and other visitors, but funnily I divvant seem to scare any
animals, and cold callers, I ask them for their card to hand to the houseowner
if they think you don’t own your place they’re off like a rocket, the Jehova’s
Witness’s I tell them in my best Pakistani accent, I am not speaking English.
thanks harry, long retired.

Tell you what Harry & Dave, if Harry comes to the show, we will let both stand in front of a mirror and see which one cracks first

rigsby · 9 February 2013 16:18

you’re definitely getting soft in your old age harry , when the jehovas come to our house i ignore them , but if they keep on knocking i tell them to bugger( other words apply according to mood )off and slam the door on them , bloody parasites , have you ever seen a poor one ? cheers , dave

norman_ingram · 10 February 2013 15:22

Dave with the snow ontop, or to the sides, you forget Harry has mellowed over the last few years since he gave the knotted rope away. He is now a kindly old gramp’s who looks after his quiet grandchildren with joy in his heart, and looks forward to every visit, and wishes he had many more!

rigsby · 10 February 2013 15:34

aye , and i just saw a squadron of pink pigs flying past our house . i think it is more likely he saving brownie points for saint peter , or he might turn muslim and qualify for all those virgins when the time comes , cheers , dave

dave_the_renegade · 10 February 2013 15:42

At least we are united in our views on jehovah’s witnesses.None of us have any time for them.As for mirrors Norm I wouldn’t look in one I’d frighten myself if I did.At least I don’t get bothered by cheeky kids,that’s one advantage of being ugly.
Cheers Dave.

norman_ingram · 11 February 2013 20:48

Dave if you feel you are missing out, I can always arrange for a few of the cheeky children to visit you. Thats what friends are for!

They will have to come a long way from Northampton Norm.We are lucky around here,the kids are pretty good.Old fashioned values in these small villages…so far.

norman_ingram · 12 February 2013 12:18

Dave I was going to bring the kids from " Oliver", then we would sing to you, ( I’ll do anything, for you!

Nothing for kids to do here Norm,no play area or anything.When I was a kid the farmers used to let us play football in a couple of fields,but its different nowadays.The village school shut in 1973,so there is nothing for young people in these villages anymore.No work,as the farms don’t employ any labour these days,also the Forestry Commission who used to employ a lot of people in this are don’t employ anyone around here anymore.The council highways employed a lot of blokes,that’s all gone.If it wasn’t for the quarries in this area,there would be very little employment in this area.
We are worse off than Bob Cratchit.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
I don’t think it’s just the small villages and hamlets that are affected by the
lack of employment opportunities most of the larger towns which are out of
sight of London are now affected, this was alway’s a coalmining area which
is now all gone and it has been possible to burn coal in industrial situations
ie’ power stations with virtually zero emissions, the Germans were using this
( British invented ) technology prior to Maggie axeing the mining industry, a
sad reflection on our so called parliamentarians, they are a load of J Arthurs
in my book.

We don’t get em now, not since I showed em a blood donor card. Seemed to steady em down a bit. They must have spread the word not to go to the grumpy old scrotes house.
